by Hi,
Ive been having some trouble with both identd and pop3. I think the
issues may be some what connected but I have no idea how.
1) IDENTD
For some reason IDENTD doesn't seem to work. I have opened port 113 on my
firewall but still nothing.
I think it may be starting up twice because of the errors im seeing in the
/var/log/messages:
This error is constantly repeating.
Oct 31 21:16:46 potsie inetd[969]: auth/tcp: bind: Address already in use
the auth line in my INETD is:
auth stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -e -o
netstat doesn't so anything about identd as far as i can tell.
2) POP3
I configured my sendmail server earlier today. Everything works fine
except
for POP3. Mail has been comming in and going out fine. Only problem is
when I try to connect to the mail server using a client that supports POP3
it wont connect to download mail. It sends mail out no problem but it
refuses to download any mail. Connection never goes through. At first I
thought it was a firewall issue but then I relelised on my internal network
all connections are accepted so POP3 should work. To make sure I added an
ipchains rule that let connections on port 110 in. Still no luck. I have
restarted INETD about a hundred times. Also the pop 3 line in INETD is:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
netstat -a shows this for pop-3:
tcp 0 0 *:pop-3 *:* LISTEN
telneting to port 110 doesn't work either connection never gets through. I
have tried this by telneting to the localhost, telneting from another
computer on my network as well as remotely from computers on the internet
Thanks for your help,
Ilan
PS here is my full netstat -a if it helps....
